NEW TO FORUM AND HONDA

Hey everyone my name is Dan and for my entire life I have driven Chevrolet.  About a month ago I got rid of my 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt SS/SC to buy a 2005 Honda Accord Couple with a 5 speed transmission.  It was hard for me to make the change but Im sick of the mechanical problems Chevy brings to the table.  It will be nice talking with you all.

Welcome to the forum.  Its a pretty friendly place here, minus a few dirtbags that sometimes make their way on here.  But for the most part, there are a lot of knowledgeable people who are here to help.
 
So why did you get rid of the Cobalt?  Those little SS/SC numbers are pretty quick, I hear.

Yes they are pretty quick and I had the GM stage 2 kit in it.  Flywheel HP was approximately 270.  The thing was in the shop once a month for mechanical problems.  The one time I took it to the track I cut a 13.8 but could not get it off the line.  The car was poorly put together and had a lot of wheel hop off the line and needed better tires.  Im not into speed so much anymore as I am getting from place to place in style and not having to stop at the shop.

My friend rented a regular Cobalt in the summer of 05, and I was not impressed at all with the fit and finish.  I would have thought that the SS would have been a little better in that department, but it sounds like it wasnt.
 
Im sure you are enjoying the Accord now though

well it has been sitting at the body shop a week now but for the time i have been driving it, it has been great.  Are accords really as reliable as they are made out to be?

Mine has always been great.  I have had it for about 55k now, and the only things I had to do beside oil changes is the front axles at 150k miles, and brake pads at 160k miles, and clean my EGR ports a few months ago.  Other than that, it has been a totally trouble free car.  I love it.

Well were happy to see you into the Honda Accord family of fine cars..
